The galaxy NGC 4666 takes pride of place at the centre of this new image, made in visible light with the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile. NGC ...

The Subaru Telescope, fitted with the Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrometer (COMICS), has produced a new image of the interior of the starburst galaxy M82 that reveals young star clusters as ...

This stunning image shows a bright supernova in the Superwind galaxy taken on Jan. 2 by a night sky photographer in Singapore. The supernova, called ASASSN-14lp, was discovered in early December and ...

Galaxy M82 isn’t just having kind of a blustery day — thanks to a recent near-collision with another galaxy, all its massive stars and supernovas are combining to create a massive galaxy-wide ...

The orbiting XMM-Newton X-ray telescope has spied a new starburst galaxy, and it may help astronomers better understand these exotic objects. The spiral galaxy, NGC 6810, was not previously known to ...

The sun’s dying breath will be no feeble wheeze. Instead, our star will go out in a blustering rage, launching a series of stellar sandstorms into the night. Humans are unlikely to be around in 7 or 8 ...

Optical spectra near maximum light of the Type II-L supernova 1984E in NGC 3169 reported by Caskell and Dopita et al. contained narrow Balmer line profiles which showed that the explosion took place ...
